Definitions

  • the invention concerns a process and a device according to the precharacterizing portion of patent claims 1 and 11 .
  • a warning and information system having such a design is known for example from the subsequently published DE 10103401 (WO 02/058962 A1).
  • the disadvantage of such an adaptive system can however be, that the detection of the condition of the operator based on mechanistic recognition using varying sensor systems and the subsequent mode and manner of the output of the warning information generated therefrom may not always be well received by the vehicle operator and could in fact be irritating not only to the vehicle operator but also to the other vehicle occupants.
  • the task of the invention is to provide a process according to the precharacterizing portion of patent claim 1 , of which the degree of acceptance by the user of the warning information is elevated in comparison to systems known from the state of the art.
  • This first task is solved by a process for controlling a warning system which, with respect to the mode and manner of the output of its warning information, is dynamically adaptable to the behavior or the condition of one or more users of this information or the situation prevailing in the environment of the system.
  • a process for controlling a warning system which, with respect to the mode and manner of the output of its warning information, is dynamically adaptable to the behavior or the condition of one or more users of this information or the situation prevailing in the environment of the system.
  • a device for controlling a warning system which utilizes a unit for output of warning information and a unit for adaptation of the type and mode of the output of this warning information to the behavior of one or more users of this information or the situation prevailing in the environment of the system.
  • the warning system in inventive manner additionally utilizes a communication unit for communication, via which at least one of the users can express acceptance or declining of the planned change.
  • FIG. 1 shows an example of the arrangement for communication between the warning system and a user with optical display elements and selection means with which to accept or decline the planned changes.
  • the warning system will change the mode and manner in which it presents the warning information to a user only when it has received an indication of acceptance to this change within the framework of the communication initiated by the warning system. It is however also conceivable, for those cases in which as a result of no expression of either agreement or declining by any of the users, after expiration of predetermined period of time (for example: 5 seconds) the system carries out these changes in the mode and manner of the warning information. In this manner it can be prevented, that important changes are blocked by the failure of users to pay attention.
  • predetermined period of time for example: 5 seconds
  • the inventive process can be so designed, that in those cases in which the declining of the changes are at least in part not accepted, or in which the system has autonomously decided to circumvent the communication (interrogating the user), the user recognizes that this has taken place by a change in the mode and manner of the output of the warning information.
  • the communication between the warning system and the user occurs in combination with a speech dialog system.
  • the communication can be carried out at least with use of an optical signal means and/or a graphic display element.
  • the communication could also involve haptic, olfacotory and/or acoustic communication means. It is for example conceivable to alert or inform the user to a planned change using an acoustic information signal or by shaking or vibrating the steering wheel.
  • This communication unit serves in inventive manner for the communication with at least one of the users of the warning information and includes means via which this user can express or input his acceptance or declining with regard to a planned change in the mode and manner of the output of the warning information.
  • FIG. 1 An exemplary arrangement for communication between the warning system and a motor vehicle operator is schematically represented in FIG. 1 .
  • the arrangement here involves two optical display elements 11 and 12 , shown as rectangular light displays with the indicia A (distance from preceding vehicles) and Z (condition of the roadway). If the warning system is informed, for example, by a system for monitoring of the roadway, that this roadway is increasingly changing towards a condition critical with respect to the safety of the vehicle, then the warning system may consider it to be appropriate to more clearly and/or more rapidly appraise the vehicle operator regarding the changes in conditions.
  • This planned change is communicated in this illustrative example to the vehicle operator by blinking of the display element 12 (indicated by lines around the display element). The vehicle operator can then decide, whether he should accept the planned change by pressing one of the two circular selection means 21 and 22 , or decline, whereupon the display element 12 ceasing blinking.
  • the invention can be employed, when used in a motor vehicle, to warn the vehicle operator or vehicle occupants in a mode and manner optimally suited to being received by them.
  • the invention is however not limited to employment with motor vehicle, and can for example also be advantageously employed in any technical field, in which operators or users are to be warned; for example in control stations for monitoring of power plant or rail systems.
